Andrew Tate requested for six bodyguards while in London. Here's why

Former world kickboxing champion and controversial social media personality Andrew Tate claimed he needed six bodyguards to roam freely in London. While on his second interview with journalist Piers Morgan, Tate criticized the law and order situation in London and said he had six bodyguards to ensure he didn’t get robbed in the city.

The entrepreneur-turned-influencer appeared on Piers Morgan's show for the second time in a couple of months. In the opening statement, Morgan confirmed that his first interview with Tate had been viewed over 8 million times on YouTube and 17 million times overall. He also said many young males came to him with positive comments about Tate during his visit to Qatar for the recently concluded FIFA World Cup 2022.

Andrew Tate was unapologetic as usual and did not mince his words while describing the decline of western society. He particularly went off on London and how it was mismanaged by Mayor Sadiq Khan, calling the city a 'cesspit'. He pointed out the growing crime rate in what once was the "most hospitable city in the world", and it was impossible to wear an expensive watch without getting robbed.




During his interview, he said he was accompanied by six bodyguards and his brother, Tristan Tate, all of military age and over 110 kilos. He said it was "absolutely unacceptable" that one needed to have such security to be safe in London. Tate lashed out at the politicians, the Labour Party and the Conservative Party, for the current state of affairs in the UK.

At the beginning of his long criticism of London, Tate said he had asked the pilot of his private jet to fuel the airplane and keep it running as he would leave the moment he was done talking to Piers Morgan. He also claimed that a day before the interview, he was at the Harrods store when a thief tried to rob somebody’s watch in the store.
